Christmas 2012

We let the kids open their big gift from us a few days before Christmas so they could start enjoying it. We had plans to leave the day after Christmas for Frankfort but it all got cancelled when we got the news on my dad being hospitalized.

Here the kids are opening their Wii!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Caroling They Came

We had a nice group of kids from the church and their friends come carol at our house the weekend before Christmas. We loved it!
 

 

 

Sweet Home Alabama

We're still in Alabama seeing my dad. He's been in the hospital the whole time. There still is no diagnosis so it's quite frustrating for all involved. We have had some bad days but The Lord has seen us through. All glory to Him.

On a lighter note we've enjoyed a few "fun" things. The kids and I went ice skating yesterday. Michael loved it. Mallory struggled and I didn't like it any more than when I skated on that same rink as a kid! We lasted 45 minutes.
The kids rode the carousel and got a treat and it was a good afternoon. While we were doing that Paul went to see Lincoln. Last night I got to see Les Mis and LOVED it!! It's long but I'd go again today if I could.

We plan to head back to EP tomorrow. I have to say after two weeks off from school, I'm really NOT ready to go back:)

Heading South

We're on our way to Montgomery to see my dad. He's back in the hospital having trouble breathing. Please pray for him when you read this!!! Thank you!

Merry Christmas from our little Angels

The kids' ministry did the Fear Not Factor musical last Sunday night. Mallory and Michael both had solos and did a great job.
We've been here a little over a year and the kids have already been in three musicals at the church. I appreciate the children's workers so much!

Annual Ornament Painting

I always try to buy a bunch of the wooden paintable ornaments that Jo Ann's sells after Christmas. They are really cheap to start, only 1.19, so when they are trying to clear them out they are just pennies. The kids and their friends, Emmy and Lyndi, love to paint them so I just let them have at it. Most have a place in the middle for a photo. They are among my favorite ornaments on our tree from year to year!
